Tribune’s note

Senator Wong used Senate question time on 25 March to defend the government's response to Iran-driven disruption in global energy markets, asserting that Australia's fuel supply remains secure. She enumerated a multi-front domestic response — reserve releases, regulatory standard changes, ACCC enforcement, and new price-gouging legislation — while anchoring the international dimension in G7 maritime security commitments and a bilateral energy-resilience statement with Singapore.

The foreign affairs and domestic energy threads were explicitly joined: Senator Wong framed Iran's actions in the Strait of Hormuz as deliberate weaponisation of a global chokepoint, making maritime security inseparable from household fuel prices.
